Random School Moments That Make Me Smile

As a Peace Corps Volunteer, I have learned to enjoy the little victories. These victories range from when students greet me in the morning, to when I have a class that is only interrupted once, to when a student asks for condoms.
 
This post is about those moments (captured in pictures) that have happened so far in Term 3.  
 
 

 
Pictured: Two of my star students showing me how much they have improved in reading. They try and come after school every day to practice their reading, and it shows!
 
 
Pictured: A few of my students playing "Piglet's Big Adventure" on the computer after typing class. The boys beg me to play it every day.


Pictured: My grade seven students during their computer class. Since we only have four computers, they sit four to a computer. Not a single argument broke out during this entire lesson. That's a HUGE success.
 
 
Pictured: One of my students diligently at work. He asked to borrow a dictionary so he could complete a science project.
 
 
Pictured: My grade sevens playing grassroots soccer. A program that uses soccer to teach students about HIV. During this day, each cone represented something that would be a risk for getting HIV, ie: mixing alcohol and sex, multiple sex partners...  
 
 
Pictured: My students lining up, and posing for a picture. 
 
 
Pictured: Teaching some of the younger students how to stretch. Precious!


 
Pictured: Me with my star runner. She hasn't missed a running practice yet! And she now shows me the route she takes when I'm not running with her. Thanks to everyone who sent sports bras to support her dream!
